The only things I'm waiting to get are the yet-to-be-released skinfinishes, and maybe At Dusk.  Everything else I wanted I grabbed online.  I should have Fiery Impact and Flaming Chic on hold for me and since I already bought them online, I won't need those.  So if anyone wants a CP, speak up by Thursday at 3pm PST or forever hold your peace because I'll release them when I arrive at the store.  
I nabbed the SFs on macys online. I got tired of waiting!

something weird is going on with my multi quote so i wasn't able to add everyone who chimed in... I swatched alpine bronze...I could barely see it so I passed on it...I thought it would be perfect. Gingerly is the same! I know the point is for it to look like a natural, barely there color but wow-wee it just seems to disappear into my skin! I always down to try again what didn't seem to work before... i want that pink cheek! thanks for the input ladies

Hmmmm, do you have Pinch Me? I like that one as well. A non MAC blush that I adore is NYX cinnamon. It almost look orange in the pan, but OMG it is sooooo beautiful on.


I got my shipping confirmation from Nordies this morning (yay), and after seeing the color story for Temp Rising I went back and got Double Definition (for shame, I know).

Blazing Haute looks blazingly amazing on you!!!
I ordered Definitely Defined EDSF this morning on Nordstrom and going to pay for my pre-order of Zestful, Double Definition and Shape The Future on Wednesday! This month is so expensive for MAC! LOL!

I'm NC 44 and refuse to get my panties in a knot over this stuff. By process of inclusion I preordered all of the blushes and skinfinishes and called it a day

I should have everything by Friday. My name is Medgal07 and I'm addicted to makeup.
Maybe I missed this, but are the EDSF definitely a highlighting/bronzer duo? Is the darker color satin vs. shimmery? Even though I don't use what I have I like the idea of these unique duos. I could maybe buy one for myself and give my current EDSF to my daughter. Still undecided about these blushes as the reviews are mixed. I'm also not sure what color I'm in the market for. Flaming Chic seems nice, but I'm wearing a good pink today from NARS. I hate this!

Well opalesse looks a bit more red but I will test it on hubster and see how they compare!


I love the fact that you swatch on your husband too

It was calling for clear sky last night for this morning and a wake up to FOG and rain for the next 5 days. >_> So I'll have to do swatches without daylight but I do have dupes for the 3 eyeshadows I got. ;)

The darker shade is definitely not matte. I'm wearing the darker side of Def Def today, and it's frosty. It's darker and not as metallic as the light half, but it's got a strong sheen. Although I love the product, it won't be one of my work highlighters (Shell Pearl, Amber Diamond, Watt's Up).
Frosty makes me think they're just two highlighters. Since I'm not sure how I'd use the darker color I should probably pass. Thank you for the feedback.

Redhead MSF, Definitely Defined, Light Year MSF

The colours are subtle so the differences don't swatch well. Light Year is the most orangy, Definitely Defined the pinkest and most frosty. When swatched lightly on the skin, the differences are all but disappear. Do I need all 3? Nope, and you probably don't either.



Light Year, Definitely Defined
Shell Pearl, Redhead

Hope this helps a bit - I hate having to order blind.

Team 'Highlighter No Buy'. If Shape the Future arrives today I'll try to post some comparison pics with it.

Def Def is a highlighter to me - I don't wear anything this frosty as blush. I really do like it, but it's well past 'satin'.

I wonder how does blazing haute and bareness compare to Archie cream soda on a NC 17-20? I can only get one of these blushes because I'm on a tight budget for the Sephora Sale >.< I think the maybelline limited edition baked blush called Golden Fuse from the fashion week is similar to blazing haute? Any suggestions or opinions are greatly appreciated! :)

Tentative list
Blush
At Dusk or Flaming Chic
Blazing Haute or Bareness

Eyeshadow
Opalesse or Triple Impact
Zestful

Hmm, haven't used MSFs before either. I think I give up. LOL. I don't want to have to think about it too much. I've got 3 highlighters now and I really don't use them.

Girl we're gonna have to cart you off to rehab in a minute...
